New Amnesty Urgent Action

Amnesty International says that Kamal Foroughi, a 77-year-old British-Iranian man jailed in Tehran’s Evin Prison, has developed cataracts in both his eyes. He may be at risk of losing his eyesight unless he is given access to adequate specialized medical treatment, including cataract surgery.

Over 2,100 days ago in May 2011, 77 year old Kamal Foroughi, a British-Iranian dual national, was taken without warning, explanation or charge for questioning at Evin Prison, Tehran, where he has been held to this day. He is one of the oldest and loneliest prisoners in Iran.

This page is dedicated to the freedom of Kamal Foroughi on compassionate grounds so he can return to the UK to spend the rest of his life with his family. His wife, children and granddaughters miss him so much.
